This Phase I SBIR program seeks a new fabrication method to produce stronger and tougher ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) composites with an outstanding oxidation and thermal shock resistance for use as components for tactical propulsion applications. UES will apply a novel "Hybrid-Clad" approach to achieve lightweight composites, along wi...

ABSTRACT: This Phase II SBIR program involves a novel process to produce new hybrid ultra-high temperature (UHTC) ceramic composites that can survive hypersonic flight conditions. The new process will produce a very unique grain and graded microstructure that can offer high strength (> 100 kpsi), high fracture toughness (> 10 MPa&#61654;m), high...

ABSTRACT: Electrical motors are rapidly replacing hydraulic motors in flight actuators for aircraft applications. In hydraulic systems, accumulators are used to store regenerative energy from the actuators as well as to supply peak energy demands of these actuators in response to flight control system demands. No electrical analog (Electrical...

For advanced gas turbines where turbine inlet temperature reaches 2650F and beyond, the current state-of-the-art thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are not adequate to provide the needed protection for the metallic components of the turbine engine. Thus there is a need to develop new chemistries for TBC systems, consisting of bond coat and t...

ABSTRACT:
UES proposes to develop a thermal model for additive manufacturing by electron beam melting that will enable selection of machine process parameters to maximize first part yield for arbitrarily shaped parts, and provide documentation to support rapid part qualification. The research will address manufacturing with Ti 6Al 4V and with Ti...

ABSTRACT:
Advanced electrical loads, such as 270Vdc flight actuators, on high performance military aircraft are of special interest due to the near instantaneous demand and regenerative transients placed on the power system, including the generation components. Recent research has focused on designing/fabricating electrical accumulator units (E...

ABSTRACT:
This Phase II SBIR program seeks to develop a new thermal barrier coating (TBC) system with a diffusion barrier coating and low thermal conductivity (k) top coat for alleviating oxidation of the bond coat alloy and moisture induced delayed spallation (MIDS), along with increasing the thermal efficiency. TBCs have been applied to the ho...
